So far the world has depended al
most wholly upon' the UnitedlStofei
for its :Bnp'Ijr pf Indian t cornJ:There
is a likelihood now of competition.
South ' Africa is r raisin er - maize in
large -quantities, and the statement
wastmade ftf a recent
by the
Prime Minister of Natal that Natal
wilf ship 240,000 tons of maize to
Europe between - now and next De
cember. v .. '
A curious. Jact in connection with
the use of maize for food by human
beings is that the disease of pellagra
which is said to result from eating
musty corn has been widely preval
ently southern Europe- for many;
years, but has never . been- noticed
until recently in the. United Stafes.
There is a - greater use of corn for
foo4 in the United States and in all
the other countries of the world; ji ;
It may be that in the handling of
cornmeaKthe dealers in European
counteries have not been so carejful
as those in the Uuited States: or it
may be that musty cornmeal iW not
the only cause of pellagra, and that
the disease is liable to result from
the eating of any musty grain. ,
Up Before tbe Bar. ,
N. H. Brown, an attorney, of
Pittsfield, Vt., writes: "We have
used Dr. King's New Life Pills for
years and find them such a good
family medicine we wouldn't be with
out them." For Chills, Constipa

they work wonders. 25c at Freeman
